I quit smoking 12 years ago. I work out and exercise almost daily. IÂ’ve never been overweight. I eat healthy food (or so I thought). My cholesterol wasnÂ’t too bad. I gured I was in great shape for 58. So what happens? I have a heart attack. ItÂ’s really, really annoying. When we wake up in the morning, we all expect to have another routine day. Go to work, come home, eat dinner, maybe watch television, play a sport or go to the gym. Then itÂ’s to sleep until the next routine day starts. That was pretty much my plan when I got out of bed on Oct. 27. It was going to be just another day. And thatÂ’s what it was until the evening. I got home from my second job at 7:15 p.m. I ate a little something and was sitting at my computer when it hit me. One second I was feeling ne and the next second it felt as if King Kong had punched a hole in my chest, grabbed hold of everything in there and was crushing it as hard as he could. My back between my shoulder blades felt as if someone had stuck knives in it. My jaw, my ears and my head felt as if they were going to explode. It was nothing IÂ’d ever experienced before. But I knew it was a heart attack. In the fog of pain, I thought it couldnÂ’t be happening. I was in total disbelief. My wife was upstairs watching television. I had dif culty speaking and though I tried to call to her, she couldnÂ’t hear me. I somehow managed to get up the stairs to the hallway outside the bedroom. She was watching one of her favorite programs, Wife Swap I hoped that wasnÂ’t an omen. I called to her from the hallway. She answered back she was watching television and what did I want. I guess there must have been a break in the show because she came out and saw me there. There are some things in my life that I never want to experience again. One of them is having another heart attack and another is hearing the fear and anguish in my wifeÂ’s voice as she called 911 and pleaded with the paramedics to come as fast as they could. The re department got to our house in a few minutes. They did their jobs in a professional and calm manner and that in turn helped to calm my wife and me. They got me to the hospital quickly and the staff there took over. I canÂ’t say enough about the people at our hospital. Nurses Amanda and Shawn were the rst to greet me in the emergency room and Dr. Lindborg, who I consider a good friend and an even better doctor, arrived shortly. When he told me that I was indeed having a heart attack, he said just to take things hour-by-hour and not to worry about what changes it might bring to my life. As with some previous problems IÂ’ve had, he helped me through this not just medically, but mentally as well. I knew if I was in his care, I was going to be all right. IÂ’ve heard some people make disparaging remarks about the hospital. Well, they havenÂ’t talked to me. As far as IÂ’m concerned, weÂ’re all in good hands here and we should be thankful for the people on this island who dedicate themselves to helping others. I was own to Queens Medical Center in Honolulu. I never want to be in a hospital again, but if I have to be, Queens would by my rst choice. I had wonderful care from the nurses and doctors there. They had a book on me that they carried around with them. It was pretty thick and I gure it probably cost about a $1,000 per page. There was a chalkboard on the wall in my room and it had information about me and my care. One of the instructions was about diet and it simply said Â‘cardiac.Â’ I erased it and wrote pizza and cheeseburgers. They seemed to be humor impaired when they saw it. The cardiologist performed a heart catherization on me and a few days later he wanted me to do a stress test on a treadmill. I said, Â“Excuse me, I just had a heart attack here. DonÂ’t really want to run on a treadmill, thank you.Â” But they werenÂ’t worried. They make you sign a release so if you die, they canÂ’t be sued. A lot of things in my life changed Oct. 27. I guess IÂ’ve eaten my last McDonaldÂ’s double cheeseburger. My diet now pretty much consists of tree bark without salt. I had to sit around on Thanksgiving knowing everybody on the island was pigging out while I had my no-sodium shredded wheat. But this Thanksgiving, I really was thankful to be around to eat that shredded wheat. While I was in the cardiac unit at Queens, I had a lot of time to think. I wondered what more I could have asked God to give me in this life. IÂ’ve had times when I was full of despair and bitterness about things that have happened. IÂ’ve had rough times when I just couldnÂ’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. But laying in that hospital bed, I began to look at my time here on Earth and I nally gured out that I really

The Kwajalein Hourglass Saturday, Nov. 26, 2005 3Youth Services creates after-school open recreation programs for island students LetÂ’s have some fun age lead more time to plan a higher quality program,Â” she said. These new concepts were prompted by a visit from the Army Paci c Region Child and Youth Evaluation Team, Sektnan said they noted in their visit last year that CYS was not providing enough open recreation for school-age children. Sektnan said the community will see more night and evening programs offered to grades one through six. Â“Most of these events will fall under the Â‘open recreationÂ’ concept of CYS programming. Open recreation events are open to all CYS registered youth free of charge. Due to the nature of some events, a certain age group will be invited and an alternative program at a different time or day will be offered to the age groups not included. The event may be completely different than that offered to the other age group,Â” she said. The open recreation concept is an Army program for school-age programming. Sektnan said community input is a large part of determining individual events offered on Kwaj through the program. The rst event is a volleyball clinic for grades four though six Dec. 8, 10 and 12. Â“The need for a volleyball clinic was brought up by a community member with a school-age child,Â” she said. The program will be open By Elizabeth Davie ReporterIsland youth can anticipate more options for after-school fun from Child and Youth Services. According to Julia Sektnan, CYS instructor, the community will see some changes in the CYS program. Â“The concept that will affect the overall program the most is that the school-age lead will now be shared with the youth center instead of also being a child development center lead teacher. This will give the school-have had a good life. God gave me a daughter who I loved and loved me. The best times of my life were spent with her and though she passed away, I still have those memories to warm my heart. He gave me a wife who has been my best friend and my greatest strength. SheÂ’s stuck with me through good times and bad. SheÂ’s been the best wife any man could ever ask for. IÂ’ve had wonderful co-workers and great friends. IÂ’ve had opportunities to travel and see things I never thought I would. I had the prayers and concern of lots of people on Kwajalein. I was greatly touched when my co-workers and friends told me how many people inquired about me and expressed their good wishes for me. So yes, I really have had a good life and couldnÂ’t ask God for much more. From now on, when I wake up every morning, IÂ’ll expect it to be another routine day. But just in case it isnÂ’t, IÂ’ll make sure to tell my wife how much I love her. IÂ’ll thank God for another day of life. IÂ’ll try not to let petty things take away from that day of life. IÂ’ll try not to take anything for granted. IÂ’ll try to be worthy of what God has given me because sometimes in the past I havenÂ’t been. If you hear me complaining about something or acting impatiently in a line at Ten-Ten or the bakery or anywhere, tap me on the shoulder and just say, Â“remember.Â” IÂ’ll thank you for doing it. Hug your children each day and tell them you love them. Say thanks to your wife or husband every day for being there for you. Tell your friends how much you appreciate them. Because your routine day might not end up the way you expected. ROUTINE DAY, from Page 2 to the public during WednesdayÂ’s School Age Services open house following the PTO meeting. She added that some events offered in the evenings and weekends will not be free. Â“They will be School Age Services sponsored, but not fall into the open recreation programming, providing they will have a fee.Â” Sektnan said another goal of the reorganization is to provide more programming for older school-age youth from grades four through six. Â“We are also working together to bring a greater united School Age Program, by including all School Age Services information in a central place, CYS central registration,Â” she added.Sektnan credits Kwajalein Range Services upper management with helping make this change by seeing the open recreation aspect of the program as a community need, which prompted the position restructure. If a community member has an idea for an open recreation event, call Sektnan at 51250. Â“We are looking for volunteers to share their expertise and creativity. We will provide the materials and space, if community members will provide their talents to impact the lives of our young children on Kwaj.Â”

Saturday, Nov. 26, 2005 The Kwajalein Hourglass K K4 Students celebrate school spirit with their annualJustin DeCoster does his best Napoleon Dynamite impression. (Photos by Elizabeth Davie)Teachers Tom Farris and Brian Brewster perform a James Brown number. against each other in a variety of contests. Posters designed by each class were hung behind their designated seats and judged by a panel of community members. The classes were pitted against each other in relay races to see who could run, jump and slide across the gym the fastest. After the assembly the students set off to Coral Sands Beach. A barbecue lunch provided by a group of volunteer parents was a big hit with the students. One of the most anticipated events of the Turkey Bowl was the touch football game where the teachers took on the senior class. Many students came to cheer on their peers while others participated in pick-up volleyball games. Two other class competitions were held at the beach, the tug-of-war and the sand sculpture contest. The tug-of-war came down to an intense battle between the seniors and the eighth graders and after two rounds and a rematch the eighth graders came out on top. After the points were added up for the dayÂ’s competition the senior class was awarded the rst place title. Though the day was lled with a variety of rivalries between the classes, the real spirit of the Turkey Bowl came through. The school was brought together for a fun day of swimming sports, and performances that created wonderful memories. wajalein Junior/Senior High SchoolÂ’s Turkey Bowl is an annual event held to promote school spirit and to provide students and faculty with a time to socialize outside the classroom. This yearÂ’s Turkey Bowl was put on by a committee of students advised by the Health and Consumer Sciences Teacher AnnElise Peterson. The event started out with a morning assembly, emceed by students Catlin Layton and Leah Simpson, designed to get the students and faculty energized for the dayÂ’s events. The assembly began with a salute to the senior class in the form of a poem written about them by the junior class. Several skits, musical and comedy acts were performed to entertain the students. Students Amber Banducci, Michael Graham, Michael Taylor and Chris Curtiss thrilled the audience with their musical performances. According to senior Margaret Geeslin it was the best part of the day, Â“Amber Banducci singing was my favorite part of Turkey Bowl. It was amazing.Â” The ve junior and senior boys that make up the old favorite dance group Men in Skirts also pleased the crowd when they danced and sang. A skit put on by the students poking fun at the teachers was well received by everyone in the audience, including the teachers, who enjoyed seeing the studentÂ’s outrageous interpretations of them. The teachers proved they couldnÂ’t be outdone though when the Physical Education Teacher Tom Farris came out dressed as James Brown and along with four other teachers performed a song. When asked what his favorite part of Turkey Bowl was the Social Sciences Teacher Ric Fullerton, who performed with Farris, responded, Â“Watching Coach perform, it was awesome this year.Â” The Turkey Bowl is also a chance for the classes to show their skills and compete By Lisa Barbella intern

While on a dig in a Romanian forest, a group of scientists make a startling nd Â— they nd a huge abbey, dating back to the 13th Century, which was built over the entrance to a massive network of subterranean caves. Eager to learn what lurks within the caves, the scientists discover to their peril that a large part of the cave system is under water. Undeterred, the remaining scientists hire a team of American spelunkers who are trained in exploring underwater caves, led by brothers Jack (Cole Hauser) and Tyler (Eddie Cibrian). Armed with new high-tech SCUBA gear that allows them to stay under water for a full 24 hours, Jack, Tyler, and the rest of their crew dive in to investigate the caves, but a mishap traps them in a cavern beneath the surface, and they soon discover they are not alone, as strange and bloodthirsty creatures make their presence known. Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, Women of the world beware Â— the worldÂ’s least likely male pleasure machine is back in business and breaching international boundaries in this sequel to the comedy hit Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo.

Hicks (Eddie Grif n) is accused of murdering a number of male escorts in Amsterdam. Needing to raise money for his friendÂ’s legal defense, Deuce is once again showing off the tricks of the trade in the European theater, while also dealing with the less-than-genial European Union of gigolos, a British school for male prostitutes, and some truly puzzling female clients.Movie ratings G = general audiences, all ages admitted PG = parental guidance suggested, some material may not be suitable for children.
